The staff members at Natures Garden are having a challenge! Each staff member has to come up with their own recipe using various Natures Garden supplies. The project has to be made with one of their favorite Natures Garden fragrance oils, and they are encouraged to be as creative as possible. Bailey was the first staff member to partake in the challenge, and her recipe is what she calls: Cold Fashioned Lemonade Soap.

When asked why she chose to make lemonade soap, Bailey replied, “Lemonade reminds me of summertime; sitting on a porch and drinking an ice-cold glass of lemonade”.

Why did she decide to make soap as her project? Bailey said that since she has experience working with both cold process and melt and pour soap, she wanted to create a recipe that involved the usage of both. The base of her lemonade soap is made of cold process soap, while the top portion of her soap is made with melt and pour soap. Bailey used the soap calculator to create her very own cold process soap recipe, checking the values to ensure she was within the range for a typical bar of soap. She also incorporated beeswax in her soap to make the soap a little bit harder. To give her soap more bubbles, she added castor oil to her recipe. Bailey is a big fan of cocoa butter, so she added that to provide the skin with conditioning aspects.

How would Bailey describe herself? Bailey says she is the type of person who loves to make people laugh. Bailey said, “Wherever Bailey goes, the fiesta follows her”. What a FUN person to work with!
